Audemars Piguet Diamond Dial Reference 5051PT VZSS Movement in Platinum Unpolished w/ Extract

This is one of the most beautiful timepieces we have ever held and it is certainly for the connoisseur! It is an Audemars Piguet which features the legendary VZSS movement and amazingly is a platinum case. Based on my research, this is only the fourth AP in platinum with VZSS movement to be discovered to the market. Even more remarkably, it appears this watch is on its original black alligator strap, has its original platinum AP buckle, and appears to have not been serviced since it left Le Brassus almost 70 years ago. I am very bullish about the long-term value of any great AP with the iconic VZSS movement, you can read the great article by Ben Clymer in HODINKEE Magazine Volume 5 to learn more.

For those looking for a grail Audemars Piguet timepiece, this watch is a great option! It should be in their museum to be quite honest. We believe the platinum case is unpolished. It measures 36mm diameter and 41mm lug to lug. The platinum case was in fact produced by Henri Jeanneret of Le Locle!

We do not know the service history, but it is running great. It does not come with box or papers. It does come with an Extract from the Archives confirming it was added to the AP Register on June 30, 1955!
